@lalakutanova me see chess art, me like 😍 (seriously though, always love to see people's take on chess-inspired characters!)

My first oc♟️🍪 He has always been strict and lazy, like a teacher who used to study chess at the academy many years ago.

@NorwayChess @MagnusCarlsen 94% accuracy over that many games is sick. Might be a little jealous of whoever is attending IRL this year.

101 games. 4,424 moves. 209 hours of chess…♟️🤯 From 52 decisive results to 25 brilliancies, Norway Chess 2025 delivered numbers worth remembering 👀 With an average accuracy in classical chess of 94.16 (and 91.79 overall), the level was simply elite 📈 And this year? We’re ready for 200+ more hours of world-class chess. Let the games begin on may 25th, if you wanna see the action in person check out the tickets for Norway Chess 2026: enjoy.ly/no/aktivitet/9… ! 🔥 📷 Norway Chess / Michal Walusza #norwaychess

@NigeriaStories First time I heard about this record. 64 uninterrupted hours of chess is something else!!! (hopefully toilet breaks were allowed?)

In 2025, Nigerian 🇳🇬 chess master Tunde Onakoya made history by breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest chess marathon alongside American chess master Shawn Martinez in Times Square, New York.

@FIDE_chess 10 Candidates runs, 2 World Championship matches, and still battling elite players into his much later years. That's some resilience, respect 🫡

Viktor Korchnoi, one of the strongest chess players to never become world champion, was born on this day in 1931. A candidate on ten occasions and a challenger twice, Korchnoi was one of the brightest personalities in the history of chess. 📷: Dutch National Archives (ANeFo)

@KnightWorld This pic has me wondering how good chess players would've been back in medieval times

Do you like playing chess? ♟️

@netflixsports Woah! Looking forward to this

@chesscom If I just added a modest +100 to my IQ chess would be much easier.... 😔

I think I could become a Grandmaster chess player if I just improved my endgames, tactics, time management, overall game sense, midgames, mating pattern awareness, positional play, and opening knowledge.

@Ankiii_i If they can’t handle it, they’re not endgame material 😌

lowkey scared to date because how am I gonna tell my future partner that I have a crazy obsession with chess

@Ragnar_AY According to whoever's designing GothamChess' thumbnails recently, chess very much IS this serious

Chess is not this serious 😭😭😭

@P0PSKI Chess being no.1 on the list is great advice 🫡

@chesscom It all makes perfect sense now 🫨

ohhh that's how they move like that

@chess_feed Bishop from another universe does sound interesting though... 🤔

What do chess players hate the most? 👇

@buitengebieden Referee was clearly bribed by the other player! I demand an investigation 😤

An unexpected move from the chess match referee.. 😅
